We have added a new member to the family, Wuthel Ethyl Terrestrial. She's going to go by Ethyl, but I'll elaborate on the rest of her name: Her first name, Wuthel, derives from the question, "What the Hell?" Because that's what I said the first time I saw her. I wanted to name her WTF, but Melissa strongly vetoed me. Ethyl Terrestrial, or ET for short, comes from the movie, apparently she didn't have the minutes on her cell phone to phone home and she lives with us now. I'm going to buy a bicycle with a basket on the front just so I can ride around the neighborhood with her freaky ET head sticking out, scaring the bejeebus out of the neighbors.

Yep, she's a Sphynx. It's a hairless cat. So freaking cool, she feels like suede and has no hairballs! I can play with her and not have my allergies go haywire... she's a slinky bugger, really skinny and emaciated, but we'll see if we can fatten her up to a healthy weight.

I gotta say, I seriously about peed my pants the first time I saw her try to jump on the counter... She has apparently been de-clawed in her front paws, she jumped and couldn't quite hold on... Yes, my sense of humor is one of the many reasons I will be sitting on a hot coal in the after life.
